WATER-CLOSET BOWL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 3, 1909.

, Application filed December 4, 1308. Serial No. 465,902.

To all whom it. may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHURPLANTIER, a

citizen of the Unitedv States, and a resident of the city of Trenton, Mercer county, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Closet Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce, in comparatively small size and cornpact form, a hopper-water-closet, which shall have all the advantages of a siphonjet water closet, but which shall. be wholly with out the exterior pipes or conduits used in the siphon closets, having all its parts and passages formed of the earthenware material of the bowl itself.

The invention consists in the construction of an earthenware bowl, having the partitions and passages hereinafter described, iorrnedv in the earthenware material, all as hereinafter more fully specified.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view of my improved water closet bowl, showing a portion of the side broken away. Fig. 2 is a side view of the opposite side of said. bowl, showing aportion oi the side also broken. away. Fig. 3 is a vertical section longitudinaliy through the bowl, taken on the line 3--3, Fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross-section of the same, taken onlines 4-4, Figs. 3 and 5, and Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken on theline 55, Figs. 1-4.

The letter A in the drawings represents the bowl of the closet which, at its upper part, is provided with .an inturned rim (1 formingthe hollow passage b having periorations for the distribution of flushing water l'romabove in the usual well known manner which I will term the rirn-flushing means- The bowl proper A rests upon and springs from (being madein one piece with) the so called web B, which in turn projects from the base C, all these parts A, B andC, being continuous and made of earthenware material. The back of the bowl Ais formed by a partition (1, which separates it from the upwardly extending. leg col the main discharge passage. The passage 2 is by another partition, f, (see Fig. 3), separated from the Water supply passage 9, and this again by still another partition, h, from the downwardly extending leg e of the discharge passage. Water for flushing and siphoning purposes is supplied by a water supply pipe location, or both.

leg 6 ol the d1scharge passage extends to a tends.

lower part of the bowl, either one at the 10- cation shown in Fig. 3 or one above that i\ lv he upwardly extending bridge 7: (see Figs. 3 and 4). Above this bridge the legs e and a come together, as shown 111 Fig. 4, being united by the transverse or lateral passage a the bottom of which is formed by the said bridge 7r, while its top is formed by the arch m, clearly shown in Fig. 4.

It will be observed that the arch m is formed oi? material through which the pas sage i leading to the flushing cl'iannel 1) e11 lt Wlll. also be observed, by rcierence to Fig. 4, thatthe arch m extends entirely across the back part of the s tructure, so as to form a liberally prriportioned transverse passage 6" connecting the upwardly extending leg 6 with the downwardly extending leg 6 ol' the discharge passage, and that the bridge It extends into this lateral passage to control by its height the height at which water normally stands inlthe bowl. It will also be observed from Fig. 5, that the partition 7t,which separates the downwardly extending leg 6 of the discharge passage from the water supply passage g, really forms the support for the bridge k, thereby making the internal construction of these portions ofthe device strong and re liable. in transportation and in use. The rear wall of the downwardly extending dis charge passage 0 is shown at a, in Fig. 3, to extend from the base C upwardly, and that it is braced by the partition. 7i.

An inspection of the drawings. will show wjemn mmiegme meow, bridge Anfinspection of Fig. willehow that the partition is in turn braced by the partition 72 end that the partitioned which seperatesr the infierior of the bowlfrom. the passages e and e, is breoed by the side wall ofthe web B and by the partition h.
